What a find! This place feels like eating at a friend's family dinner table: warm, welcoming, & genuinely home-cooked. We came with kids & never felt rushed or out of place. It's about as family-friendly as it gets.

We ordered a spread of dips. The baba ganoush & hummus were full of flavor, & paired perfectly with the pita bread, which is baked fresh in-house. The crispy chips disappeared in minutes. Don't skip the kibbeh, it's a must-try & clearly a house specialty according to my husband. The Syrian chicken was great & beautifully spiced, & the chana & spinach was very hearty.

Generous portions, great prices, & food made with real care. Its definitely a great find!

Surprisingly basic & expensive price-point for their offer. Service for my table was 1 star, as it was for most guests near our table. Our server did the experience a 1-star but the kitchen was good. I had to visit the website twice to confirm that I was in the right place. Some of the pics online do not nearly represent the place- a bit misleading in my opinion. We selected the option for a menu for 2, pretty generous portions. The server limited her interactions to taking the order, not even confirming dishes. Not even a description of dishes or tour of their ingredients or anything. In all, I ended up ordering extra items because of communication gaps. Don't expect a'do you need anything?','thank you for visiting' or eye-contact. Le Chef maybe a place that offers to-go & reviews are for delivery or pick-up food; this place is a low 3.x, & a 4.8 is an artificial wishful-thinking rating. I received my check before I ordered dessert, & I cleaned the table myself before it was delivered. Spend your money elsewhere. I rarely find ratings way off. This place is not even a 3.8!
